According to the gay activists, the marriage question is a matter of “civil rights” and we shouldn’t be voting on issues of “civil rights” ever. Not that I agree, but that’s what they say. That’s why they twisted arms in the Mass. legislature to kill the vote of the people there. They sincerely believe that once a judge grants a “civil right”, that it shouldn’t ever be subject to a mere vote of the people or their elected representatives.
Because what most of the people want is completely different from what the gay activists want.
